Key Players Lost:

Annefloor Foiij (MF)
Kylie Painter (ST)

Key Returning Players:
Daniella Oviedo senior MF/ST 18g, 7a in career. Missed most of her junior year through injury but has worked extremely hard to get back to her best. We were a different team offensively when she came back for playoffs last year.

Faith VandeBunte senior MF 10g, 3a in career. One of the few players on the field that consistently uses both feet and does it well. When confident she can be one that dictates play on the field.

Ava Foran senior GK 124saves, 40GA in career. Four-year varsity keeper, with great reflexes, and a shot-stopper.

Meghan Conron senior GK 34saves, 9GA in career. One of our players who has shown the biggest strides over the last few years. It’s great to have a group of keepers including Ava Foran above and Sophomore Molly Pavis that can really get the best out of each other.

Shea Lieberman senior ST/MF 3g, 2a in career. Leads by example, will always leave it all out on the field. Has improved her technical ability greatly over the last few years.

Haley Fluck sophomore DEF 2g, 0a in career. Great technical ability, great quickness, and as a Freshman last year showed great composure.

Key Newcomers:
Hallie Thomas freshman MF
Athena Kolakas freshman MF

2023 Outlook: We’ve got a pretty large senior class, lead by a handful of players that have 3+ years of varsity experience. We lost a significant portion of our back line from last year’s team so we will be relying on our senior keepers to take charge and help with some of our youthfulness in defense, especially at the beginning of the season.
